EPD: Embedded pole providing high dielectric strength for vacuum interrupters, 1600 - 3150 A, 10.85 kg/unit, PT2 VGE6 (ABB AG)

The pole part contains a core component, a vacuum interrupter, embedded in a spe-cial cast resin. The pole parts protect the vacuum interrupters from impact, dust, moisture, and external damage. At the same time, the pole part facilitates the con-nection between the vacuum interrupter and the operating mechanism and provides the possibility to connect busbars, for instance, in a switchgear.
